Daelim Utilizes 3D Graphic Data Throughout the Entire Lifecycle of Buildings

Daelim Industrial employees are checking site survey data through video data filmed by drones and converted into 3D.

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] Recently, the construction industry has been making every effort to develop new construction technologies in line with the 4th Industrial Revolution. The integration of ICT technology is essential. In particular, there is growing interest in three-dimensional graphic technology, which has high visual applicability. Due to the nature of the construction industry, frequent comparison and review between design drawings and actual processes are necessary. Accordingly, technologies traditionally developed in the film and game industries, which have advanced special effects and video technologies, are being boldly introduced.

Daelim Industrial announced on the 22nd that it actively utilizes three-dimensional graphic data throughout the entire lifecycle of buildings, from design and construction to maintenance. Recently, Daelim applied photogrammetry technology, which is actively used in fields such as movies, games, map production, and product design, to on-site surveying. Photogrammetry is a technology that overlaps or composites photos taken from multiple angles to create three-dimensional stereoscopic images. It can be widely used from small objects to city-scale spaces. Special effects in movies like "The Matrix" and "Star Wars" also used this technology.

Daelim is utilizing photos taken by drones converted into 3D video models. The data error is very precise, with an average of within 10 cm when shooting at 100 meters altitude and less than 3 cm at 30 meters height. It can also be used in various ways such as surveying, process management, earthwork quantity verification, safety, and quality control. Daelim is currently using this technology at 20 sites. Since March, it has expanded to all newly started housing sites and plans to gradually apply it to civil engineering and plant sites as well.

In addition, Daelim is building big data by converting apartment complex models and completed sites into 3D videos. This is to utilize them for design review and new product development in the future. Furthermore, it plans to digitize all construction technology information. Based on the accumulated information, it plans not only to verify completed work but also to predict potential problems and eliminate errors in advance. Moreover, it is expected to be used as information necessary for building maintenance after the completion of buildings.

Jung Yanghee, head of Daelim Industrial’s Technology Planning Team, said, “Photogrammetry technology will be a key technology driving innovation in the construction industry,” and added, “Daelim plans to accelerate digital innovation to realize total smart construction.”
